We regret the determination of Mr..
James M. Mckee, to make his future
home in Vicksburg, and wish him abun-
dant success in the practice of his chosen
profession-the law. He is true gen.
tleman-courageous, affable, modest and
genial, and possesses all the qualities of
mind, needed in the makeup of good
lawyer. No gentleman in Jackson is
more popular, and host of friends who
recollect his many acts of friendship,
join TIE CLARION in indorsing him to
the fullest extent to the good people OF
Vicksburg. Mr.. Mckee has formed a
partnership with Mr.. A. NJ. Lea, law
yer of established reputation and prac-
tice.

Col. Morrison has decided to re-enter
public life as member Of Congress,
where his services have been invaIua-
Bic to them and the country. The
Washington correspondent Of the Times
Democrat writes:
a close friend of Col Morrison said
to-day it was the latter's intention to re-
enter politics next year. He has de-
cided beyond all question to contest for
his old seat in Congress in 1888. lie be
lieves that he can be elected. He says
it was not his anti-prOtection principles
that defeated him in 1856. it was the
apathy of certain Democrats in his dis
trict who were dissatisfied on account OF
he distribution of the patronage.
These men, it Is said, stayed away from
the polls and allowed the election to go
by default. Since then they have seen
the error Of their political way, 50 to
speak, aud have assured the Colonel that
in the event OF his nomination they will
give him an enthusiastic and cordial
support The Colonel believes in the
sincerity of these promises, and feels
confident of carrying the district this
year by good round majority.

Maury Institute.

Amongst the many institutions for
the education of our girls, whose COM
mencement exercises are being noticed
in your columns, none is more worthy
of honorable mention than the modest,
but deservedly popular one, whose name
stands at the head of this article
Located in the healthful and beautiful
city of Holly Springs, Miss, which has
always been noted for the refinement
and culture of its citizens, occupying
the large mansion and grounds, so long
the hospitable residence of Hon. J.
w. @. Watson, and presided over by
Miss Watson, the accomplished daughter
of Judge Watson, who has enjoyed
every educ ational advantage that wealth
and opp0r unity could afford; this in
stitution has set before it the aim of
giving to our girls the most thorough
education possible. Its whole system is
projected upon the plane of the highest
scholarship. 1t eschews all methods
that look 10 merely superficial or
desultory training. Itrequires of every
student the thorough mastery of every
subject in the course as the indispensa-
be requisite to graduation and its two
degrees. that of Mistress of Art for
those who have taken the thorough
English and classical courses, and that
of Mistress of English Literature for
those who have taken the thorough
English course without the classics, are
the assurance to all the world that those
who have taken them are fitted by
thorough scholarship and mental train
ing for any sphere of life into which the
path of true Southern woman may
lead them. Having recently visited
this admirable institution, and learned,
not only the thoroughness of its train
ing, but also the peculiarly gentle and
refining home influences under which
its pupils are placed in the bosom of
Judge Watson's family, am led to
wonder why even its modesty, which
has Stunned all glare of advertisement,
should have concealed its true merits.
50 that any, especially of our Presbyte-
rian trends of Mississippi, should feel it
necessary to send their daughters to
more distant schools, where they will
not have half the real advantages to be
found in this model institution which is
just at their doors.-T. ID. W., in Chris
tian Observer.

A MOVEMENT has been started in
South Carolina and Georgia to drive out
a company of Mormon missionaries
from Utah who are holding meetings in
that region and making many converts
among the ignorant classes. 1t does
not appear from this, that the Mormons
have abandoned their herssies in relig-
ion and politics in Utah, as they are pre-
tending in order to secure admission as
State with the right of making its af-
fairs independent of the United States

New York Tribune, Rep.
President Cleveland's Administration
has reduced the public debt, less cash in
the Treasury, nearly S110,000,Oo0 dur.
ing the last fiscal year. For that let it
have credit. 1t has not caused the vast
increase in revenue, amounting to almost
s35, 100000, but it has not stolen the
money Receipts under laws which the
President and his party have vainly
tried to alter have enormously exceeded

The product of half acre of average
soil planted in onions has been sold by a
man in Anderson county, S. O., says
the Charleston Neaos, Eat clear profit of
$50 over the cost of seed and fertilizers,
which is at the rate of about 1920 per
acre. The same half acre will be planted
in cabbages, so as to yield two crops the
same year. This is better than cotton,
and doubtless even greater profits could
be realized with high cultivation.

SENATOR CULLoM, (Republican), Of
Illinois, was Chairman of the Senate
Committee which reported the Inter.
state Commerce bill, and was its leading
champion in that body. In speaking
the other day, to the Grain Merchants
Association of Chicago, he said that the
law, though not perfect, placed all
shippers more nearly on an equality.
He believed those who denounced the
bill had personal reasons for wishing to
get rid of it. He hoped there would be
no prolonged antagonism to the enforce
ment of the law, but he did not join in
the charge that the railroads are al
tempting to render the law obnoxious.
He credited them with too much bust
ness sagacity for that.
